Child of Light, the side-scrolling RPG from Patrick Plourde and a small team of Ubisoft developers, made serious money.
Child of Light is one of a number of titles like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Valiant Hearts which are the result of a new initiative at Ubisoft to try out smaller projects and give developers creative freedom and control.
Speaking to GamesIndustry, Plourde said the project more than made back Ubisoft’s investment in it.
“It’s not as profitable as Assassin’s Creed is profitable, but it’s profitable enough that we would have been able to fund a sequel,” Plourde said.
“Or if it had been my company, I would be driving a Ferrari and doing donuts.” For a small studio, the game was a pretty big success.
